Laptops
Lenovo Thinkpad T450
I use this laptop more than my r61i. The r61i has a better keyboard. 6gb ram, intel processor (i5 i think)
march 2023 - currently broken ive been using the hp laptop
April 2024 - This latop was fixed sometime last year and is working but windows 10 is such a hog it makes the laptop struggle sometimes. I still like the laptop but not so much windows 10. I may look into upgrading to windows 11 but i will buy a SSD for this computer if i do so.
IBM Thinkpad something
old windows laptop that stopped working after the backup battery died?? i believe it is windows 2000 or 98. Might fix it one day.
April 2024 - I believe i still have this laptop somewhere but i haven't seen it in a while. I hope i still have it!
Lenovo Thinkpad R61i
My laptop is from 2007. I bought this laptop used, it is my first laptop. It started its life running windows XP. Now it is running windows 7 Home. It has a Pentium dual core running at 1733Mhz and has 2gb ddr2 of ram. Works good still. 2gb of ram has gotten me a lot farther than you'd think.
April 2024 - Nothing has changed with this laptop. still working good, i don't regret buying this.
Hewlett Packard Pavilion dv7-1175nr
was found in allyway in chicago. family gave it to me. i bought a power cord for it and it turned right on just fine. old hp logo, core2duo, 4gb ddr2 ram, vista home premium. not sure if battery works yet I want to put a newer operating system on it and maybe a ssd for storage and use it. I always get a kick out of using really old computers in public places.
MARCH, 2023 - cleaned out the dust which resolved the overheating problem it had. I installed linux mint and a solid state hard drive. I currently use this computer as a daily. It is really quick on web browsing and opening programs. It cannot play hd youtube videos the processor is too slow.
APRIL 2024 - keyboard malfunctioning and laptop speakers broke. I got frustrated and quit using it as a normal computer. I stole parts from it for another project. I'm not sure yet if i will fix this, i may just retire it.
Old Desktop(UPDATE still works but currently forgotton. its collecting dust in my spare bedroom) My old desktop is a hp terminal that has linux mint. It was in a trash pile in the breakroom at my old work. I don't think they knew it was a computer. It runs like a normal computer now. It contains 4gb ram. 16gb storage (I hope to upgrade it later) and a dual core AMD GX-212JC processor. The computer doesn't have any cooling fans, passive cooled! I'm still using my old sony trinitron. I may change to another monitor. I have a flat screen that looks like i can put the computer on the back of. Update! After using it a few weeks I can conform that a terminal computer can be used as my main desktop. It boots up quick i guess due to the hard drive being flash memory. Operating the computer you will find it is a little slow. I can't watch hd videos on youtube. 480p youtube videos work fine to me. Visiting large websites can be a little slugish but still useable. Same with running programs large programs can be a little slow. The cool thing though is that the computer never gets hot. Its not the best computer but it does what i need it to do and i like it! My old Desktop(UPDATE RETIRED heatsink broke and i had trouble finding an affordable repalcement heatsink shaped in a irregular size) My computer is from 2008, It has an AMD Phenom 9100e amd and 6gb ram. Its old and reliable. Its ranLinux mint.My computer monitor is a Sony Trinitron Mulitscan 200ES. Labtec computer speakers, Hewlett Packard multimedia keyboard and microsoft mouse. Brother B&W laser printer HL-2270DW. I stopped using the computer after the heatsink broke. I couldn't find a heat sink that would fit it so i gave up. The computer had a long run I've been using that computer since 2008. |
